Feature
New instructor True to art
Paul Ulmen
Staff writer
After a hectic schedule teach
ing many programs part time,
Richard True looks forward to
making a contribution to the en
tire aspect of art here at CCC as a
new full time instructor.
True has taught part time for
the last 11 years not only here at
CCC, but also at PCC and PSU.
He received his Bachelor’s of
Arts in New Mexico, then decided
he needed a change.
“I wanted to come to the west
to get a Master’s degree. I didn’t
want to live in New Mexico any
longer. . . wanted some place
greener and ended up here.”
True then applied at PSU and
was accepted. While teaching
design part time, he eventually re
placed Norm Bursheim. He is
looking forward to next years de
sign class. They will design a
mural for the music department
with a musical theme
“We don’t get snow here like
they do there—the seasonal
changes are more abrupt,” said
True, who was originally from
especially likes to fly fish for steel
head, trout and salmon and at
times float tubing, where you fish
from an inner tube. True builds
his own rods and tie flies to his
specifications. What he likes
about it is it “doesn’t have a rela
tionship to work at all.”
True is married and has two
teenage daughters. True recently
bought a place in Milwaukie that
has an acre of land and a stream
that runs through it. He also has
a dog that he says is, “half lab
and half stupid.”
When he is not busy remod
eling and painting his new house,
he likes to bike ride and study Tai
Chi about an hour a day.
True feels that students that
take risks and experiment with
new art forms help develop a
higher form of art and that is how
new techniques of art have
formed.
He feels that what makes a
good student is, “an open mind,
willing to ask questions and sees
education as their priority and
number one use of free time. Stu
dents change with the times.”

“CCC is my favorite place to
teach; it’s welcoming, inviting
and supportive.”
When not teaching, he likes
to work on his art and makes large
scale cement castings and hand
built cement forms, which he dis
plays at art shows once a year. He
‘Merchant Prince’ finally here
Brendon Neal
Opinion Editor
“Rise of a Merchant Prince”
reestablishes Raymond E. Feist’s
reputation as an excellent fantasy
writer.
While the book does deal
somewhat with the invasion and
the war it focuses on the life of
Rue one of the main characters
from the first book.
As Krondor prepares for the
invasion Rue prepares to take over
the town’s economic system. The
book is named after him and fol
lows his successes and failures as
he moves from ragamuffin to mil
lionaire.
Eric ends up leading the as
sault force along with Nakor the
unmage. Their purpose is to de
stroy the families of the serpents
to insure that their numbers do not
increase and to lower morale.
are the remnants of a race ravaged
by another invasion.
The unfortunate part is that
they have been followed by one
of their invaders, a minor demon.
It is the forerunner in an army
looking for more souls to munch
on.
Eric first encounters the new
enemy when they find the home
of the serpents full of dead Sauur
bodies. While happy to have their
work done for them they continue
down in hopes of learning of what
could kill such hearty warriors
like swatting flies.
The story has the flavor of an
old British novel. The economic
world that Rue lives in is similar
to what you read about in Britain
in the last century and early in this
one.
This story has a very differ
ent flavor from the first book in
the saga, and even more so com
pared to the other books by Feist.
However, I enjoyed it. It has
enough action to keep the tradi
tional fantasy reader interested
while bringing in other plots to
make the more contemporary
reader interested as well.
I rated Feist’s book a VG for
Very Good.
We learn more about the ser
pents and especially the foreign
Sauur from beyond the rift.
Rather than an invasion force they
